1t is thought of sufficient consequence to
telegraph over the country that Mr.. Jacob
Sharp was not seriously affected by his Sun

imprisoned in suite of rooms elegantly fur

the delicacies of the season, that he was
taken to drive about town and allowed to
walk in the jailor's flower garden, and that
his wife and daughter were allowed to re-

very strange that when he appeared in the

The Boston Board of Aldermen have man
ifested an unexpected amount of pluck and
independence in refusing to reverse their de-
cision in the matter of allowing English res
idents to use Faneuil Hall to celebrate the
Queens Jubilee. The Instantaneous have
used that hall TO their hearts content to de-
nounce the Queen and the English govern
ment. 1t is only fair play that the English
should have chance to present the. other
side. Because the English residents of Bos-
ton are not so numerous as the Irish, and
therefore do not throw so many votes, is moi
good reason for refusing 20 accord to them
the same privileges that are accorded to the
Irish.

The New York Legislature did one good
thing at least at its recent session in passing
q bill forbidding the use of coal stoves in
passenger cars. The governor has now
signed the bill and it is a law. There are
plenty of appliances by which cars can be
heated without running the risk of roasting
the passengers in case Of an accident. The
Sewall heater has been thoroughly tested
aud found to work admirably. Every State
should follow the lead Of New York and
compel the railroads to substitute for the
coal stove some device of this kind.

FANEUIL HALL AND THE IRISH
Boston Advertiserl
BY tie vote, six to six, of the board of
aldermen, the grant of Faneuil Hall for the
jubilee celebration today was confirmed. In
our opinion the revocation of the originals
grant would have grayely offended thousand
of true friends to Ireland in this city. Our
view of the case has been already expressed
at length. We shall not repeat it, but we
will assure Aldermen Carroll, Donovan, Lee,
Mcguire, Mclaughlin and Sullivan that the
American public believes in fair play, and if
they do not wish to create distrust of Irish
men and Irish measures and thereby
strengthen the hands of the English tories,
they will be careful not to repeat their action

The attempt to shift the odium of the Pres
ident's battle flag order ON to Adjutant Gen
eral Drum and Secretary Endicott is not
likely to work. Neither of these gentlemen
is willing to become the scapegoat. Adjutant
General Drum makes it clear that the Presi-
dent knew and understood perfectly well
the purport of the order when he approved
it, Besides there is some proof that the
original suggestion came from the President
himself But Mr. Cleveland is to be can
didate for second term, and candidate
with such a load on his shoulders as this bat
tie flag blunder would have little chance of
ever being anything more. Hence this de-
termined effort to rid him Of it. But he
cannot be relieved of this blunder except he
is deprived at the same time of what has been
reckoned by his admirers as the browning
glory of his administration, that it was di-
rected in all its important movements by the
President himself, that every official act was
understood and approved by him before it
was done. The plea in this case is that he
was misled by others, an excuse that must
prove a severe shock to his Mugwump admir-
ers.

The Boston Irishmen at their meeting
Monday night hurled some very savage reso-
buttons at the Queen and the English govern
ment, some Of which were just and some of
which were not. 1t cannot be said, as they
said, with truth, that the reign of Victoria
. the darkest chapter of oppression and
crime in authentic history" On the contra
ry the condition of Yictoria's subjects has
greatly improved since her reign began. The
Irish should remember when they are firing
off their resolutions that the man who has
really ruled England for considerable part
OF these fifty years is Mr.. Gladstone, the
foremost champion Of the Irish cause to-
day, and that such sweeping and untruthful
condemnation is an Injustice to him.

The new pension bill prepared by the ma
tional pension committee of the Grand Army
Of the Republic and which is being sent to
the different posts for consideration is very
similar to the dependent pension bill vetoed
by the President. In case of dependent pa
rents when the fact of death has been shown
and also the fact that the soldier left no
widow or minor child or children, the
only additional fact necessary to prove
under this bill to entitle such parents
to pension is that they are depen-
dent upon their manual labor or the
charity OF persons under no legal obligation
to contribute to their support. All persons
who served three months in the military or
naval service Of the country and were hon
orably discharged, and who are suffering
from mental or physical disability, not the
resultof their own vicious habits are to re-
eeive So per month. In case of any invalid
pensioner who has died, or shall hereafter
die, his widow and minor children, or in case
there are neither. his dependent parents, are
under this act to be placed on the pension
rolls at the rates established by law for wild
ows, minor children, and parents without
regard to the cause of death of such
pensioner. The increase OF pensions for
minor children is placed at So per month
instead of 50 as now provided by law,
and in case minor child is insane,
idiotie or otherwise helpless, the pension
is to continue during the life of said child
or during the period of such disability.
1t is TO be regretted that the decision of the
Board of Visitors of Andover Seminary has

Professor Smyth wholesale lobbying and
browbeating the visitors have been practised
for some time, unless some people falsify

State arbitration of labor disputes in Mas
sachusetts appears to have turned out an ut
ter failure. The board have had nothing to
do except to draw their salaries, and have
settled nothing except that their services are
not in demand. In not single dispute, we
believe, that has arisen been capital and La
Dor since the board was constituted, have
both parties been willing to appeal to the
board and abide by its decision. The trial has
been long enough to show that unless arbi-
tration is made compulsory, which proba-
bly, cannot be done under the present con-
stitution, the State board might as well be
abolished. When the disputants want arbi-
tration they can select their own board, with
more satisfaction to themselves and with
less expense to the State.

Blaine on the Message.


NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Tribune
OF tomorrow will contain long in-
terview with Hon. James G. Blaine,
on President Cleveland's message. 1t
was taken in shorthand under the
direction of the Zri6ame's Paris cor
respondent. and sent by cable to-
night. 1t is as follows:
II have been reading an abstract
of the Presidents message, and have
been especially interested in the COM
ments of the London papers. Those
papers all assume to declare the mes
sage is a free trade manifesto, and
evidently are anticipating an enlarg-
ed market for English fabrics in the
United States as consequence of the
Presidents recommendations. Per-
haps that fact stamps the character of
the message more clearly than any
words of amine.''erssxsAssssss.ss~.ss--s
"You don't mean actual free trade
without duty ?" queried the reporter,
"No," replied Mr.. Blaine, "nor do
the London papers mean that. They
simply mean that the President has
recommended what in the United
States is known as a revenue tariff.
rejecting the protective feature as an
object, and not even permitting pro-
lection to result fully as an incident
TO revenue duties"
81 don't know that 1 quite COM
prehend that last point" said the re.
porter,
II mean," said Mr.. Blaine, "that
for the first time in the history of the
United States the President recon-
mends retaining the Internal Reve-
nue. tax in order that the tariff may
be forced down, even below the fair
revenue standard. He recommends
that the tax on tobacco be retained,
and thus that many millions annually
shall be levied on a domestic product
which would far better come from a
tariff on foreign fabrics"
"Then do you mean to imply that
you would favor the repeal of the
tobacco tax ?"
"Certainly; l mean that" said Mr..
Blaine. | should urge that it be done
at Once-even before the Christmas
holidays. 1t would, in the first place,
bring great relief to growers of to-
bacco all over the country, and would
lesson the price of the article to con-
sumers. Tobacco to millions of men
is necessity. The President calls it
a luxury, but it is luxury in no
other sense than tea and coffee are
luxuries."
at is we'll to remember that the
luxury of yesterday becomes a neces-
sity of to-day. Watch, if you please,
the number of men at work on the
farm, in the Goa mines, along the
railroads, in the iron foundry, or in
any calling, and you will find 95 to
100 chewing while they work. After
each meat the same proportion seek
the soiace of pipe or a cigar. These
men not only pay the millions of the
tobacco tax, hut pay on every plug
and every cigar an enhanced price,
which the tax enables the manufac
turer and retailer to impose. The
only excuse for such a tax is the
actual necessity under which the
Government found itself during the
war and the years Immediately fol.
lowing. To retain the tax now in
order to destroy the protection which
would incidentiy flow from raising
the same amount of money on for.
eign imports is certainly most ex.
traordinary policy for our Govern
ment."
